@Blem So much burn...
> If you have trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: one comes before two comes before 60 comes after 12 comes before six trillion comes after 504. This will make your earlier counting difficulties seem like no big deal.
@badp That sentence looks broken.
@Arperum it's a @badp sentence, it's just confusing
It's a quote
09:18
@KevinvanderVelden Oh right, how did I miss that?
@Arperum @badp's secret confusion rays confused you into missing it
@KevinvanderVelden It might also not help that I have a pretty hard deadline for my current project in two days, and that I keep getting pestered for random other support crap. Say goodbye to your concentration...
@Arperum say goodbye while we take it out back and shoot it
Loudly and repeatedly so you can't work
@KevinvanderVelden Yea, client gets a 404 when trying to download a file. looks at it "remove the '&' from the filename when uploading and try again."
If your stupid system uses querystrings to decide which file to download, don't add '&' to the friggin filenames...
Or just never add that to a filename.
For files you want to upload just use like, alphanumeric characters periods, dashes and underscores
09:25
I have been spending to much time on imgur today
@KevinvanderVelden Or just never use anything else for filenames.
@Arperum naah, for people who speak russian I'd say using cyrillic letters for your filenames to sort them is fine
one last picture, then back to work

Did I mention the other problem they had with downloading a file? That filename didn't even end up correctly on the page, so I have no clue what random thing was in there. I expect a copyright sign or a trademark sign or something.
@Blem what is this work you speak of?
@Blem that's pretty well made

messing with unknown character encodings is the worst

Random ENglish article about NSA getting hacked by XSS attack

Q: Did I remain detected once alert disappears? How many time?

SysDragonSometimes in World of Tanks on the Xbox 360 edition you get detected and an alert appears on the bottom of the screen. If you hide then the icon disappears. You remain still some time visible to the enemies or you instantly disappear to their vision when this happens?

@5pike Well yes, but if you are able to be hacked in such a stupid way, you deserve to be laughed at. According to one article the hacked also gained access to some databases that were not supposed to be accessible at all

Q: Can a tank be hit when is not visible?

SysDragonCan I hit a tank that I'm not seeing but I known his position? If yes, do the hit reveal him?

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" is a philosophical thought experiment that raises questions regarding observation and knowledge of reality. History Philosopher George Berkeley, in his work, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710), proposes, "But, say you, surely there is nothing easier than for me to imagine trees, for instance, in a park [...] and nobody by to perceive them. [...] "The objects of sense exist only when they are perceived; the trees therefore are in the garden [...] no longer than while there ...
Does this article really need a picture of "A fallen tree in a forest"?
> While the XSS vulnerability is not critical, the expert also claims to have identified an SQL Injection flaw on the NSA’s website.
@5pike If a Woman argues and there are no one in the kitchen is she still right?
@Blem I don't like that kind of jokes. They are the worst.

Q: Any perks to getting 100% on Assassins Creed 4?

RavingGamerI was just wondering if there is anything like a special item or upgrade you get for 100% the game, haven't finished the game fully yet so no spoilers please!

Q: What is the use of "tank experience" once you maxed the tank?

SysDragonOnce you max a tank you gain more global points (stars), available for every other tank upgrade, but you still receive standard tank points (silver stars). What is the use for that? Can them be spent or changed into something?

Q: Spotting mechanics in console

SysDragonI read this: http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/Battle_Mechanics#Radio_Range In Xbox 360 edition you can see allies always, but there it says that you can only see them when in range. I think in console you can see the enemies whenever an ally detects it, no matter the distance, but I can't be sure. ...

Q: How to update all blocks in a chunk?

JopI am making a Minecraft map and I now have lots of unupdated water blocks that need to be updated for proper flow. Placing and removing blocks isn't an option because these bodies of water are too large. Is there any way to cause block updates for every block in a chunk? I can use WorldEdit and...

11:41
Meanwhile on the internet
Chocolate Doom showing off some screenshots of its Windows Mobile 5 port.
@badp Isn't Doom ported to every system ever?
@5pike This is a fan project for bug-for-bug compatibility, not just a DOSBox wrapper
but yes, this one fan project seems to run on pretty much everything
I just found it funny that of all the platforms they decided to show off, they chose Windows Mobile 5
@badp clearly that's just because windows mobile 5 is best mobile windows
@badp Yeah, quite peculiar.
Still, doom has a port on everything
@5pike doesn't run on my calculator!
11:53
@badp Yeah, because your calculator is crap. TI is where it's at.
This being the most feature-complete calculator I could find that's still not programmable
@5pike Texas Instrument does calculators that are not legal in the only context where I need a calculator and can't just use anything else
also, CPUs. I guess the CPUs are fine.
@badp You can't use 'em because they are programmable?
@5pike Programmable calculators have been banned from every single test and exam I've done

@badp Makes sense, I guess.
11:56
This one though does numerical derivatives, integrals, 3×3 systems/matrixes, it finds exact zeroes for grade-3 polynomials and approximate zeroes for pretty much everything else
and also more common things like complex, fractions, statistics if you really want to, yadda yadda. It's a little lifesaver.
plus, a handy loose case that might hold additional, ahem, paperweights
From when you need to weigh your calculator. With paper.
It's a relatively common need.
also I guess the previous operations memory could hold mathematical expressions and whatnot, but it's not very reliable.
12:12
@badp We could use them

Q: How to obtain Hidden Abilities before X and Y?

Shadow ZorgonI know in X and Y you can use Safari Zone and Hordes to obtain hidden abilities. But, before those, how do you get a Hidden Ability?

but they had to be on factory settings at the start of the test
and nothing saved
but want to start programming mid-test? Feel free
I think it's still far better to have a few useful things hardcoded and correct than having to write out a matrix determinant calculator mid-exam :P
(also banned: graphing calcs)
@Sterno What's wrong with your face?
@badp I do not understand the question.

Q: Does putting a key in a capsule mean you can hack more?

DaenythIf I put a portal key inside a capsule, can I keyfarm without dropping it, or does having it in there still count as inventory and prevent me from getting more?

@Sterno What's wrong with your face?
My face is 100% Sterno-like.
OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO STERNO????
I must have been kicked from the bridge at some point.
Multiple computers were on the "choose your chat room!" page instead of the Bridge. I didn't think anything of it until I saw it again.
It was probably somehow @Wipqozn.
12:30
@StrixVaria probably, and/or you were de-room-ownered at some point
@KevinvanderVelden That just refreshes.
@StrixVaria really? Huh
user15026
That horrifying moment when the one website you rely on for a lot of your work stuff refuses to work for five straight minutes at the start of your day...
user15026
Yeah I really didn't need that heart attack
12:56
I caught lots of fish on Saturday. It was fun.
but none were particularly photo worthy
user15026
But yay fish!
13:10
@AshleyNunn Tell the IT guys (if it's an internal one), go to fix it (if you're the IT guy), or get yourself another cup of coffee, then tell your IT guys to see if it's not a local network problem (in all other situations). Whatever happens, no need for panic. It's out of your control.
@AshleyNunn If this is the case for me, chat is usually down too
(I've been the "IT guy" for 11 years, so I've been there ...)
user15026
@MartinSojka I don't think we even have IT people....
user15026
@fredley Chat worked, everything worked, but Flashscore was like noooope
user15026
It eventually worked out, though
13:16
Did I mention really short deadline? ANd did I mention that they keep piling other people's work on my head?
I know for a fact that in a bit someone is going to blame his boss for making him miss a deadline...
user15026
@Arperum That sounds less than awesome
Indeed.
The worst part is that I had to ask for a login into some stupid system, and the person providing me with a login told me she normally has to do this stuff... I'm majorly annoyed.
IF YOU THROW A SHORT DEADLINE ON ME, STOP PESTERING ME WITH RANDOM SUPPORT CRAP ALL THE TIME. THAT BREAKS MY CONCENTRATION FOR HOURS ON END.
@AshleyNunn huh, that doesn't look half terrible
ALSO GIVING A POWERPOINT AND MAKING ME TYPE OVER ALL THE STUPID TEXT IN IT IS NOT GOING TO INCREASE MY MOOD
user15026
@badp What doesn't?
13:20
BECAUSE COPY PAST BREAKS THE FUCKING WEBSITE.
@AshleyNunn Flashscore
user15026
@badp Yeah, it is a very handy site for my job
user15026
Makes finding results a lot faster
@Arperum paste special?
@badp javascript editor is being retarded.
no paste special.
13:21
oh
paste into notepad and then from there into the js editor
@AshleyNunn They were indeed fish
@AshleyNunn Usually when this happens to me, I figure to plot out what I want to do for the day in a notepad file.
@badp gonna try that
Start of the day is usually a bit of a buzz so just organizing a plan while you can't actually do anything helps so that when you can start doing stuff, you can make up for the lost time much faster.
user15026
@GraceNote Yeah, I started making notes of what I would all need to find if the site never came back
user15026
13:22
@GraceNote Yeah - the first part of my day is always figuring out what I need to do and planning it all out so that everything gets done
@Blem Aah, I love how calling them xbones is still a thing <3
> Praise Gaben.
@KevinvanderVelden What else would they be called?
So ... the XBone has a GPU comparable to the high-end consumer one we had available in 2009.
@MartinSojka jup
This was not a surprise to anyone really =p
13:27
@badp Thank you for saving some tiny part of my sanity.
@Arperum yw. At least you didn't have to deal with Unix style line termination notepad nightmares
Wait, @badp preserving sanity? This is new
I can't sap away your sanity if something else preempts me
This javascript editor fucked up so bad it broke the layout of the entire website when I was modifying a tiny part of it. And because it doesn't allow me a htmlview I couldn't go in and fix it...
And once it got somehow saved to the DB wrong I couldn't even fix it anymore because javascript crashed on loading the content of the editor...
so delete and retry was my only option left.

Q: Elite Knight Set vs Faraam Knight Set Dark Souls II

ZachrielBest armor to upgrade +10? Im having a hard to compare this things.

14:16
@Lazers Wikis exist for a reason ...
Also: Armor in DS is useless
They aren't going to make it.
@3ventic Never good.
You're never good.
You're almost good
(related)
@OrigamiRobot Agree 100%
@3ventic is more awful than Wipqozn
14:20
@GnomeSlice looks like they're roughly in the same position as Beatdown City
crawls back to Twitch
@BenBrocka Never seen this before.
Heh
@GnomeSlice I made an LP, got an alpha demo from the guy. It works surprisingly well for an idea I wouldn't have expected to work (turn-ish based brawler)
@3ventic GOOD NOW THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST SAID THERE
@BenBrocka Huh. Sounds neat.
@BenBrocka Have you tried Heldric yet, or are you gonna pass on that one. It's pretty fun.
14:25
@Unionhawk I already posted this yesterday!
JEEZ
@OrigamiRobot SORRY
Mar 18 at 1:38, by Ashley Nunn
@Frank Sorry, I am just incredibly tired of people going OMG SOMEONE ELSE POSTED THAT
NOW DIE
@Unionhawk It's literally the message right after the one you replied to!
Well
...
shit it is
-.-
Get some sleep!
I'm an idiot
14:26
@OrigamiRobot He found it from the stars list I'm sure.
Just pretend it's a lifehack link that I want to make sure @Sterno sees
@Unionhawk must... not... star
2
@KevinvanderVelden Obvious star bait should be obvious
@KevinvanderVelden stars all the things
@Unionhawk and yet it works every time
14:28
Note to self: Always spend souls before boss fights.
@KevinvanderVelden was talking about my "I'm an idiot"
@Unionhawk and that got starred to, as did my obvious star bait
@Unionhawk It worked in both cases. Because I couldn't be bothered not star the starbait.
@Yuki Also: Buy more poison equipment - that stuff is awesome
@BenBrocka Speaking of weird turn-based games, have you heard of Mighty Tactical Shooter?
14:37
I like that we're still mocking how bad the Phantom Menace a day after someone had the misfortune of saying they liked it.
Also, someone is ruining the star list and should feel bad.
The best way to get starred is to talk about stars
The last five seven stars are not my doing.
@Sterno Meh, it was fine. The only one I'd call bad is Episode III.
@OrigamiRobot If you weren't already dead to me for some past transgression I can't remember, you'd be dead to me.
@5pike Ugh, don't have the DEX to support poison equipment.
14:41
@Yuki I'm talking about arrows and throwing knifes
@Sterno I'd say "fine at best" is a fair assessment of 1, but it wasn't good by a long shot.
They can really save your hide
I'm not saying Eps 4-6 were awesome or anything. I'm just saying Phantom Menace was garbage.
It's got some glaring issues, but none quite as unforgivable as 3
14:42
But yeah, I just lost 85k souls because I went in on a boss without spending them.
Just think, there are people who have never see the version without the terrible song thing in Jabba's Palace.
Actually, I lost 30k at first, but I kept going back to try to retrieve them.
@Sterno It really didn't do anything worse than the originals.
@Yuki Yeah, that's DS.
@OrigamiRobot So wrong.
14:43
Who liked Phantom Menace? That horrendous movie killed my love of all things Lucas.
@OrigamiRobot It made half the things said in the originals outright lies.
Was that the one with an hour of pod racing just so they could make that video game?
@Yuki But souls are really no problem. I lost 75K souls yesterday. An hour later, I had 100k souls.
@JasonBerkan If by half, you mean one.
You get so much souls the further you get.
@5pike Yeah, but I was sitting at 300k SM. Losing that 85k is annoying when it's such a large fraction of all the souls I've collected.
14:45
Like I said, I think "fine at best" isn't an unfair assessment of 1, but I don't think anyone can argue that it was good.
Though I might be underestimating the paperbot here
@Yuki That's pretty much DS
@Unionhawk No, this is pretty much what I'm saying.
1 was meh, 2 was pretty ok, 3 was bad
That's also why I always have a homeward bone in the quick inventory.
@GnomeSlice Hadn't heard of it...reminds me of R Type Tactics except R types was really just a straight tactics game
Yeah, I think, especially if you judge it on its own, it's not the worst movie ever. But I guess since it's also not the greatest movie ever, it's a total failure as a Star Wars movie, or something.
14:51
Phantom Menace isn't bad if you take it by itself, it's just mediocre. It's bad when you look at in context of the previous movies and all the hype it was given.
I think it's easily a total failure of a star wars movie even compared to the other prequels. Pod Racing, Midichlorians and Jar Jar Binks all in one thing wasn't it?
I guess it's not "bad" if you consider most movies are also garbage but...pretty low standard there
@Yuki: and the actors involved were actually pretty good in theory
@JourneymanGeek There's only so much you can do with a script like that...
precisely
If you hate E1 for Jar Jar Binks and don't hate E6 for Ewoks and/or Boba Fett's death scene, you're just a hypocrite, IMO.
14:53
Everyone rags on Anakin's actor too. He was a child, people.
If this is a continuing discussion, I'm sure this has been linked, but I'm too lazy to look back: redlettermedia.com/plinkett/star-wars/…
Ewoks were easily the most hated part of episode 6
I think ewoks as a whole are at worst as bad as Jar Jar himself though, and he's hardly the only problem in the movie
@OrigamiRobot: some parts of me finds satisfaction in the idea what all the gungans were probably slaughtered by the empire, and the ewoks wiped out in the ecoside that follows a small moon blowing up over your small moon
@JasonBerkan Yeah, @Sterno linked that yesterday. And it's brilliant. (star list shenanigans pushed it off)
@Yuki That's the thing: he didn't have to be a child, and the way Ben talks in ANH, it sounds like Anakin was an adult (or almost an adult) when they met.
14:55
I wish (star list shenanigans pushed it off) was its own message so I could star it.
@OrigamiRobot Well that's terrible because I'm not editing that.
@Unionhawk You can just star my message instead.
I could, this is true.
@JasonBerkan Well, you can hardly blame the actor for Lucas's decision/mistake.
@Yuki I don't. I blame Lucas for everything and I'm ecstatic that he has absolutely nothing to do with the new movie(s).

@JasonBerkan It would definitely have improved Episodes II and III if they casted the same guy for Episode I. He'd have more time to grow into the role.
Apparently, he's been good in other roles, though I haven't seen any of his movies.
I've actually never seen Episode III. After I and II, I gave up.
It would have also made the transition between I and II as well as the whole Anakin/Padme thing a lot easier to digest.
I wouldn't. You might have a heart attack or something. It's bad.
@Unionhawk I concur.
15:08
Though most of my Star Wars friends say the opposite of the paper bot - that III is the best of the prequels.
@JasonBerkan If we're judging solely on quality of lightsaber combat (which a lot of people do), I'd agree.
@JasonBerkan You should disown this person.
user15026
@JasonBerkan I saw I, but I don't recall if I saw II or III...I might have just given up hope totally
@JasonBerkan I mean, among Star Wars people, "best of the prequels" isn't exactly a title I'd want.
The best thing to come out of the prequels was really the combat scenes. And that's really kinda sad.
Considering the quality of the combat scenes...
15:09
@Unionhawk No, it isn't exactly high praise. In my house, the prequels don't exist. I don't own copies and I don't discuss them with my children.
So they only know George Lucas as a filmmaker who was responsible for the originals, and not the George Lucas responsible for the utter badness of 3?
All my kids know of Anakin is what they see watching Clone Wars.
@JasonBerkan That's... actually really good.
You know what really bugs me about the prequels? How bad most of the ships look

For those heathens who don't know what @OrigamiRobot is talking about:
Who, in their right mind, would choose to reimplement the functionality of atan2 instead of, you know, actually using atan2? It's like the programmer saw that atan returned values from -Pi/2 to Pi/2, said "But I need values in the range of 0 to 2*Pi", and then didn't check to see if the function already existed.
@KevinvanderVelden That one? I thought he was talking about the American Pie parody?
@KevinvanderVelden That's... not what I'm talking about.
15:21
Well damn
LINK IT :D
Though, this is a weird upload
I like Lucas, but somewhere along the way the man just got too much credit for the originals, to the point where no one could tell him "no". He's a great idea man, but he really needs people to refine his ideas into something better, rather than the yes-men he surrounded himself with.
@5pike D'oh. I just realized I've been going through this game without upgrading my equipment.
@OrigamiRobot beat me to it
15:23
I hope that's the right one, I can't actually see or hear it from work.
@MBraedley I beat him to it as well
@TrentHawkins Classic protection from editors. (WARNING: TV Tropes link)
@KevinvanderVelden No one-box, no inb4.
@OrigamiRobot hence me not calling inb4
59 secs ago, by Kevin van der Velden
@MBraedley I beat him to it as well
That is calling inb4
15:25
Yup. That is. You don't have to use the characters "inb4" to call inb4
@Unionhawk lies
If you can call inb4 without using the letters then not one-boxing it counts as well =p
The internet needs a inbhind
as a way for the offending party to inb4 an inb4
@KevinvanderVelden Hrm. I don't know about that one. I'd rather star just a youtube link than a "Is it this? youtube link"
@Unionhawk not everything is about the stars! Some things are about the rep
There is no rep in chat though, so the only internet points we have to go by are stars.
I mean, I guess there is, but not as directly related.

Chat doesn't have rep. Therefore, everything is about stars.
